Jon Prezant

Couples & Sex Therapist

Jon illuminates ADHD relationships through the intimate lens of an NYU Wurzweiler-trained sex and couples therapy specialist. He navigates the delicate terrain where attention challenges reshape physical intimacy—when partners struggle with attunement during sex, when spontaneity and routine clash in the bedroom, when desire patterns seem perpetually mismatched. With his background in trauma-informed care and EFT, he helps couples decode miscommunication patterns that leave both partners feeling sexually unseen and emotionally unheard. Jon’s work with diverse relationship structures—from monogamy to polyamory, across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum—gives him unique insight into how ADHD manifests differently across various intimacy contexts. His pursuit of advanced certifications in Sex Therapy, EFT, and Schema Therapy informs his integrated approach to healing sexual disconnection. Jon doesn’t just help couples manage bedroom challenges; he helps them discover the exquisite music created when different neurological instruments play together—creating connections that feel both secure and wildly alive, where sexual satisfaction becomes a genuine possibility again.

His unique background in global post-conflict zones gives him extraordinary perspective on the tender battles that develop between partners with mismatched focus styles and emotional processing. Paul’s advanced training in Schema Therapy, EFT for Couples, Trauma work, and CBT creates a toolkit perfectly calibrated for ADHD relationship healing, especially with the self-esteem wounds that often accompany diagnosis.

Paul doesn’t just offer strategies; he offers sanctuary where different brains aren’t just accommodated but celebrated, where relationship differences become sources of renewal rather than roadblocks.
